“And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:”
Now the law requires the descendants of Levi to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their fellow Israelites—even though they also are descended from Abraham — the Levitical priesthood's right to tithes is established by the law, allowing priests to collect from their brothers descended from Abraham. The law's provision for priestly support is legitimate but temporary.
